The brand new League of Legends patch notes provide a hefty amount of champion balance. Targeted towards stabilizing the meta, League of Legends 13.18 adjusts a couple of outliers in the game.
This time around, Riot pre-released the patch notes. They also provided some context surrounding the changes, thereby attempting to help understand the update as effectively as possible. For Riot Phroxzon’s analysis of the changes, check out the link posted below.
The exemplar of Demacia has been overperforming for the past couple of patches. In Riot’s words, “We knew J4 would benefit from Gore and Shojin buffs, but pre-emptively nerfing him, only to need to nerf him again wouldn’t be great.
“Now that we know how the buffs have landed, we have greater confidence for how much to nerf, where and for what skill brackets. We think his damage is over the line, given how durable he is and how many more casts he gets.”

In Riot’s words, “Tryndamere is OP right now, so all the frustrating things he does are amplified.
“He’ll still be a frustrating champion to play against, but we hope less so, when he’s not also overpowered. The changes hopefully mean he’s less likely to randomly win the lane at level 1/2 and be easier to collapse on/burn his ult later in the game.”
